Abstract

Objective To explore the imaging examination diagnosis value and analysis the characteristics of the two methods: CT and MRI on the extreme lateral lumbar intervertebral disc protrusion. Methods 66 cases were diagnosed with the extreme lateral lumbar intervertebral disc protrusion disease, from our hospital orthopedic from January 2010 to April 2010. Respectively using CT and MRI to check, compare two methods of imaging detection positive rate and their imaging characteristics. Results To compare two methods of inspection of each segment disc herniation with prominence detection rate and the total detection rate, differences are not obvious, there is not statistical significant (P>0.05). Conclusion The CT and MRI imaging examination can diagnose type of extreme lateral lumbar intervertebral disc protrusion, to better determine the degree of type extreme lateral lumbar disc disease patients with segmental, has the important clinical diagnostic value.
